The assault case against Liverpool
winger Raheem Sterling collapsed on Friday when his former girlfriend
gave 'disappointing' evidence to support the prosecution's case.
Sterling, 18, was alleged to have attacked 19-year-old model Shana Ann Rose Halliday following a row about a text message, Liverpool Magistrates' Court heard.
But Sterling, from Southport, was formally found not guilty by magistrates when the Crown Prosecution Service and he now goes into the Reds' game against Southampton in the clear.
He entered a not guilty plea at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court last month, having been arrested on August 8 following an incident in Page Moss, Huyton, Liverpool.
He was granted conditional bail and arrived at the same court last Friday afternoon for the start of his trial.
Anthony Leo, Chairman of the bench, said Miss Halliday had given 'unfavourable evidence'.
Miss Halliday, from Liverpool, was crowned the winner of England’s Top Model of the World beauty pageant earlier this year.
She went on to contest the pageant’s world final in Egypt and reportedly works as a sales assistant for the Hollister clothing chain.
